Yes it's the annual, maybe biannual? Shock and horror story that Danny Williams fights on.
'F***ing disgusting' - Hall of Fame promoter Lou DiBella slams dark side of the sport as video of Danny Williams, who once knocked out Mike Tyson, emerges of him still boxing, aged 48 (talksport.com)
It seems like we've been having the same conversation (because we have) for about 10 years, maybe 15? Each and every time someone from the boxing world will take to Twitter and express their disgust! How can "The commission/Trainer/Promoter" allow this!!!! (sad face)
In this example it's DiBella getting all glassy eyed and animated. He wasn't the first though.
"He's paying for his kids to go to private school" "He's got a mortgage to pay" Mortgage fair enough. But how thick are his kids exactly? How much schooling do they need?
And what mortgage can he be covering with that shower of shite? I'd be amazed if he was making more than a few hundred quid. Based on that video, clearly no one gives a shit that he once knocked out Mike Tyson or challenged for a world title. There's clearly no sweetening of the pot for someone that used to be someone.
I'm sure some 'journalist' will pin him down for a chat some time soon and he'll say he does it because he needs the money and the journalist will feel mighty pleased with themselves for snagging such a hard hitting piece. It'll probably be on video and be called Danny Williams RAW!!!! or Danny Williams "GOES IN!!" on boxing. Or one of the other shit buzzwords those types use these days.
The bottom line is Williams fights because Williams wants to fight, it's all he knows. Boxing will be outraged of course. But it will be Outraged from Monday to Thursday tops because come Friday, we need to start focusing on the weekends fights. Tomorrows chip paper and all that.
